[Updated] Album Covers & Track list Unveiled!

[Update] The release date of ‘The Boys’ has been postponed for reasons yet to be known (via Yurui912 & soshified@twitter) D: Whether this delay will affect the upcoming teasers, digital song release on the 4th or the Music Bank comeback on the 7th… we don’t know yet. T_T FALSE ALARM!? Distributors have retracted their changed release dates… we really do not know wtf is going on, but at the moment, take it as if the delay never happened. Apologies. Official news -> http://snsdkorean.com/2011/10/01/3rd-album-release-date-postponed/

Another day, another tease… Ze Princesses are BACK!!! :D

2nd cover, track list & more info under the cut…

The album cover kinda reminds me of the Into the New World. Also, if you look carefully at the mess frame surrounding each picture, there appears to be a small icon associated with each girl’s ‘fairy tale’ character. *squints eyes*

I thought of their debut album when I first saw the design too~! haha. I think all the mess going on in the background is to “hide” those icons but yet explicitly show them so we can see and gives us this mysterious feeling as to what their concept might be. SM is such a tease. I can’t waitttttttt

looks a little bit 1920s styled if you ask me
so the ladies is getting older and makes a more mature styled album yes?
lets just hope it isnt the end of there fairytale as girls generation then
thinking of some previous groups that has lasted for five years such as H.O.T

in the black and white cover, taeyeon as snow white is sleeping and maybe already bitten the apple, i wonder if a prince would kiss her in the mv to wake her up, or maybe its just me, the mv could be something not related to fairytales, hehehehe

Everyone except Yuri and Yoona seems to be pretty clear.
Yuri, is she the girl from the “the Red Shoes” fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson or Cinderella?
The dancing theme for “the Red Shoes” is quite fitting though…..so leaning on that.
If Yoona does not need to fit the Fairy tale/folklore theme, then she would be the historic Joan of Arc as many have said..but then you lose coherence.
Only thing I can think of is Valkyrie (aka Angel of Death) from Norse folklore. But she doesn’t look very Viking goddess like and is wielding what seems like a French sabre. Then in Wiki it show that Norse and French folklore were indistinguishable. The dark concept is fitting for the “chooser of the slain” though.
SM…I give up. But I had fun looking through folklore.

haha oh yeah, my hunches were correct all right! prominent storybook/fairytale female characters alright! really really cant wait for the release of the full album. but i’m a bit pissed at the fact that it’s been postponed to a few more weeks. grr.. the agony!

Looking flashy and stunning, ladies. :) So this is like a fairy tale concept of princesses wanting to meet their Prince Charmings, esp with the album name “The Boys”. Maybe? Anyway, looking forward to the songs, and the English ones. May future successes smile upon you all. Love you.

If you're still Girls' Generation in the next lifetime, we will still be your S♡NE.
